G5                                   C5 
He never knew their names and never really cared 
         E5                           D5 
Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared 
G5                                C5 
Living on his own with no one to hold on to 
E5                D5 
Nowhere to go and nothing to do 
C5 
But lie awake and pray that one day 
C5 
Someone will come his way 

Chorus 
       G5 
All he knows are   
              D5 
Highways and broken hearts 
E5               C5 
Late nights and old guitars 
G5          D5 
Wondering where you are 
       E5  D5   C5 
You're so far away 

His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best 

Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next 

Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes 

It's a good time, but just for the night 

Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico 

Then off to Colorado 

Chorus 

Staring through the walls of that motel room 

Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose 

Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around 

Should he drop to his knees, just give up now 

Begging for release in the night 

Has he gone too far to fight? 

Chorus 
       E5  D5   C5 
You're so far away 
       E5  D5   C5 
You're so far away
